I didn't have similar problems, just equally as quirky, and I didn't know what they were coming from (ie-i went through an automatic car wash and 10 minutes later my eyes were swelled shut-various "un-namable" chemicals i would react to). They say it usually takes 6-12 visits although it depends on how the treatments affect your body. Insurance doesn't usually cover it because it's "alternative" medicine. This treatment is only two years old though, so a lot of doctors don't know about it. So far it's been very successful (I can vouch for that myself) and the clinic I go to is going to have a doctor from the mayo clinic show up to do further research on it (so it's beginning to get noticed by the medical community). Personally, I now think allergists are the scam artists (but that's based on my personal reaction to traditional treatments).

The actually treatment is a little hard to describe and sounds a little weird. Basically the practitioner asks your body a question and your body will answer. It's a muscle response test with your arm. If someone had told me this a year ago, I wouldn't have believed it. But, then my eyes started swelling shut every two weeks (and would take around 2 days for the swelling to go down), so I became desperate to try something else. After the practitioner determines answers to questions from your muscle's response, an accupressure tool is used. It's kind of a simple massage tool that vibrates down on either side of your spinal column. Have I scared you off yet? You can read more about it on the website (http://www.neuromodulationtechnique.com/welcomepatients.cfm). It's based on neurophysiology. Patients usually have their own reaction to the treatment. For me the first few treatments actually made my eyes swell up as you are sort of "purging" things from your body and i had to get a lot of sleep. The last reaction I had to treatment just involved a lot of mucous "expelling" for about a day. But the practitioner said all people react differently.
